Let glance at these regulations for all
concerned. The time of departure and ar
rival having been mentioned and the
metals on which the train will travel
specified, the regulations provide:
l. For u pilot engine, accompanied by =
locomotive foreman for the various dis
tricts, and by guard with lamps, flags
and fog signals. This engine precedes the
royal train ut u uniform speed and always
fifteen mile,. in advance Of il.
2 The Oh ivers and firemen, as well as
the engineers Of the royal train, are
specially selected. Telegraph men accom-
pany the train under superintendent,
and workmen, filters, lampmen and
greasers travel on the train all the way,
keeping a constant watch; and at stop
ping places they must alight and examine
the train and grease the axle boxes.
g. A look out man is placed on the
tender of the engine, and, seated with his
face 10 the train, observes any signal that
may be given by the occupants. This po-
sition is by no means All enviable one, as
may be imagined, particularly at night,
when more than ordinary vigilance is re-
Quired
The above are a few OF the precautions
which the railway companies adopt to
secure her majesty's safety, and her com

A Yankee friend of mine in speaking OF
the Iimekiin club says: 1T is inimitable,
only that the names OF the members are
so exaggerated" When | wrote her list
of the queer names that have become so
familiar 10 me from much hearing she de
clared that she would retract her opinion
of the Limekiln names being exaggerated
The negroes generally take their names
either from their surroundings OF obtain
them from the white people, often mixing
up names in the most incongruous style.
Lily is the favorite name for the blacklist
pickaninny among them. Our old wash
erwoman named her only child Mary
Mandy Selma Pleasant Delightful. A
bow legged young defendant OF Ham re-
joices in the name of Shadrach Meshach
Abednego-though he is generally known
rs Shad
A fond young mother could not decide
what to call her first son, so in her di
lemma applied to a young lady, who told
her to call him Willipus Wallapus. The
name tickled her fancy and now Willipus
Wallapus is added to the list. This same
negro has since become the mother Of a
daughter, and in speaking Of her n few
days since says: Il amt sot on no name
for her yit, but III either call her Quees
Victoria or Mrs. Cleveland. She also
has stepson, an overgrown fellow Of l!
or IS, who bears the sweet name of Rose
bud Tabb. But perhaps the most ridicu
lous names are found In those of the
children of u half witted negro near this
place There sIe three of them, named
respectively Heaven, He'll and Moses
Smote the Water. A party of picnickers
were very much startled in passing her
house one day 10 hear the following com
mand: Look hyar, Heaven, You niggah,
you go down to He'll and git dat ar dip
per wot dey got down dere.' II was only
after q thorough investigation that she
could be understood. Alabama Cor. De
